No. 81 7,005. Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 4, 1905. Serial No. 258,829.

Patented April 3, 1906.

To all whom, it may concer -n.-

Be it known that I, ARNE RosLANn, a citi- States, residing at New Orbeing under these upwardly disposed. tion upon the neck of conditions vertically and When the tie is in posithe wearer, the arms 2 are slipped upward beneath and engaged with the collarbutton, it being apparent that owing to the holder being formed of spring metal and the upper ends of the arms 4 approached toward each other the arms wil be sprung into engagement with the button, thus to prevent accidental escape therefrom.

It is to be observed that by returning the Louisiana, have invented new and useful Imfollowing is a specification. This invention relates to scarf-holders, and has for its objects to produce a comparatively simple and inexpensive device of this character which in practice may be readily attached to a scarf and will serve to prevent the same from riding upward on the collar of the wearer.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character formed from a single piece of metal and which may be read-i .ily engaged with a tie and also with a collarutton and one which will be maintained in secure engagement with said parts, but may be readily detached therefrom.

To these ends the invention comprises the novel features of construction and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a tie having a holder embodying the invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a front perspective view of the holder, and Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a scarf of the usual or any appropriate construction and material, and 2 a holder adapted for temporary engagement therewith.

The holder 2, which constitutes the subject-matter of the present invention, is preferably formed from a single length of springwire bent into shape, as shown in Fig. 2, to provide a central spring-coil 3, merged into and connecting the lower ends of a pair of upwardly-extending and normally vertical duplex arms 4, arranged to converge from their inner toward their outer free ends, and a pair of forwardly-projecting normally horizontal tie-engaging portions or fingers 5, disposed at substantially right angles to the arms and having sharpened terminals 6, it being noted that after formation of the arms 4 the material thereof is bent backward upon itself and thence forwardly at right angles to produce the fingers 5, which are thus disposed adjacent the lower end of the holder.

arms 4 the latter will be rendered exceedingly strong and rigid, while at the same time their relative resiliency will be unimpaired, owing to their lower ends being connected by the spring-coil 3.

From the foregoing it is apparent that I produce a simple device which in practice will efficiently perform its functions and one which may be readily and securely engaged with the tie and button and quickly released from said parts when circumstances require, it being understood that in attaining these ends minor changes in the details herein set forth may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is s a new article of manufacture, a neck tie-holder composed of a single length of spring metal bent into shape and. comprising a central spring-coil, duplex button-engaging arms arranged to converge from their inner toward their outer free ends and a pair of forwardly-pro j ecting tie-engaging fingers disposed at substantially right angles to the arms and having sharpened terminals, said spring-coil forming a part of and serving to connect the lower ends of the arms and the material of the latter being returned upon itself in the formation of the outer side portions of the arms and finally bent outward at the lower ends of the arms to form. the tieengaging fingers.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
